4 Claims. (Cl. 2-1'59') The present invention relates to a gloveconstruction and it particularly relates to a glove construction inwhich there is a sleeve-like extension over the wrist or arm of thewearer.

It is among the objects of the present invention to provide an improved,better-fitting, more attractive glove of leather or fabric or acombination of leather and fabric for use, particularly by women, whichmay be made inexpensively and which will be altogether devoid oftendency to slide down upon the arm or wrist of the wearer, even thoughit has sleeve-like extension over such wrist or arm.

Still further objects and advantages will appear from the more detaileddescription set forth below, it being understood, however, that thismore detailed description is given by way of illustration andexplanation only, and not by way of limitation, since various changestherein may be made by those skilled in the art without departing fromthe scope and spirit of the present invention.

In accomplishing the above objects, it has been most satisfactory toform the sleeve-like extension, in part or whole, where it extends overthe wrist or the arm of an elastic fabric or band, the elasticity ofwhich is preferably confined to a direction transverse to thelongitudinal axis of the arm.

Desirably extending reversely or downwardly from the elastic fabric orband back towards the glove, there is provided a sleeve or cuff orleather, fabric or a combination of both.

In the desired construction, the elastic fabric should not stretchlongitudinally of the arm and where the sleeve extends a substantialdistance along the arm, it is often found desirable to insertnon-elastic fabric between the terminal portions or spaced portions ofthe elastic fabric.

Desirably, the elastic fabric consists of ends extending around theperiphery of the arm which include a cut or rounded rubber core whichhave been wound spirally in opposite directions with a non-elastic yarn.

Referring to the drawing which illustrates one of the embodimentsaccording to the present invention, to which the invention is by nomeans restricted, since the drawing is merely by way of illustration andnot by way of limitation,

Fig. 1 is a longitudinal elevational view of a glove constructionaccording to the present invention with the sleeve extension of theglove partly broken away to more clearly show the construction thereof,

Fig. 2. is a similar view showing the glove construction of Fig. 1 ashaving a sleeve portion only extending over the wrist,

Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 of an alternative embodiment, saidview being a longitudinal elevational view partly broken away moreclearly to show the construction,

Fig. 4 is a side perspective view showing the application of the glovesof Fig. 1 to the hand and forearm of a wearer.

Referring to Fig. l, the glove A may be of the usual leather and/orfabric construction and. is provided with an extension B of an elasticfabric with an overlying inturned cuff C.

The elastic fabric B has stretch in the direction It, but does not haveany stretch in the direction II, and it may be sewed as indicated at thedouble line of stitching at I2 and I3 to the inturned portion I 4 ofleather or fabric of the cuff C, and the extension l5 from the trank l6of the glove respectively.

The reverse cuff C is turned forwardly as indicated at 11 and extends asindicated at H! over the elastic fabric B and terminates at IE to coverthe line of junction between the trank l5 and the fabric B, and also thestitching l3 which has an inturned edge as indicated at 20.

The glove of Fig. 1, when worn as shown in Fig. 4, gives a mostdesirable appearance inasmuch as the elastic B acts as a support whilethe outer fabric C enables wide variation in the styling and drapingappearance of the glove.

The glove as shown in Fig. 1 may be of gauntlet length as shown forexample in Fig. 2 where the reverse sleeve C only extends over the wristwith the fabric B also limited to the wrist of the wearer.

Instead of using an elastic fabric B, it is also possible to utilizestiff supporting materials such as buckram, but generally elasticfabrics, which will not too tightly fit upon the wrist or arm of thewearer may also be used.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the fabric B is not elastic, but ithas elastic bands as indicated at 30 and 3!, which separate or arestitched to the junction of the sleeve B and the trank I6 and theinturned edge I4 of the reverse cuff or sleeve C If desired several ofthese bands 30 and 3[ may be employed at spaced intervals along thelength of the glove.

Although not preferred, it would also be possible to use two way stretchfabrics, or even fabrics which might stretch longitudinally.

It will be understood that many changes could be made in the particularfeatures as shown, and many apparently widely different embodiments ofthis invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof,and it is intended that all matter contained in the above descriptionshall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

What is claimed is:

1. A glove construction comprising a hand portion and a double sleeveextending upward therefrom, said sleeve elements being attached togetheradjacent to the upper ends thereof and being devoid of; attachmentadjacent to the lower ends thereof the inner sleeve being elastic andbeing attached to the hand portion.

2. A glove construction comprising a hand portion and a double sleeveextending upward therefrom said sleeve elements being attached togetheradjacent to the upper ends thereof and being devoid of such detachmentadjacent to the lower ends thereof, the inner sleeve being attached tothe hand portion and having elastic elements peripherally thereof andbeing nonelastic longitudinally thereof.

3. A glove construction comprising a hand portion and a double sleeveextending upward therefrom, said'sleeve elements being attached togetheradjacent to the upper ends thereof and being devoid of such attachmentadjacent to the lower ends thereof the inner sleeve being attached tothe hand portion having elastic bands at the top and bottom thereof.

4. A glove construction comprising a hand portion and a double sleeveextending upward therefrom, said sleeve elements being attached togetheradjacent to the upper ends thereof and being devoid of attachmentadjacent to the lower ends thereof and the inner sleeve having elasticstrands peripherally thereof and being non-elastic longitudinallythereof.
